Answer;

P4O10 - molecular solid

Graphite - network solid

Ammonium phosphate - ionic

Brass - metallic

SiC - network solid

Rb- metallic

I2 - molecular

LiBr- ionic

P4 - molecular

Plastic - amorphous

Si - network

Explanation:

An ioinc solid is made up of a pair of oppositely charged ion held together by electrostatic interaction between the bonding species.

A covalent solid is a solid in which the atoms involved in the solid are bonded together by covalent bonds. Covalent solids are also molecular.

Metals are held together by interaction of metal ions and a sea of electrons. This is called the metallic bond.

A network solid is composed of covalently bonded atoms that repeat itself in a definite manner. E.g SiC

Explain how the relative atomic mass and the mass number of elements are different and hence why some elements have relative ato

padilas [110]

This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

What is the name of(NH4)3PO4

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

What is the name of the compound (NH4) 3PO4? (NH)4+ is an ammonium radical and (PO4) 3- is a phospate radical. When we start writing the compound,the valency of phosphate goes to ammonium as subscript,and that of ammonium goes to phosphate. Hence the formula (NH4)3 PO4 and it's name is ammonium phospate.

Use Lewis theory to determine the chemical formula for the compound formed between Sr and N.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

$Sr_3N_2$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Lewis theory is based on the bonds formation between atoms via the valence electrons, we can verify the chemical formula of the compound formed by strontium and nitrogen by noticing that strontium has two valence electrons as it is in group IIA, for that reason, two nitrogens should be available for bonding. Therefore, since nitrogen is in group VA, it is said that three electrons are required to attain the octet (maximum amount bonded electrons), for that reason, three strontiums are should be available for bonding. In such a way, the formula should be:

$Sr_3N_2$

Regards.
